Transforming Housekeeping in Continuing Care with Beetons Clean
Jan 15, 2025 ACCA Member Spotlight
Chinook Health Solutions Ltd., an Alberta-based health technology start-up, is making waves in the continuing care sector with its flagship product, Beetons Clean. This cutting-edge housekeeping operations platform is purpose-built to address the unique challenges faced by long-term care (LTC) facilities. By replacing outdated pen-and-paper systems, Beetons Clean ensures cleaning tasks are completed accurately, securely recorded, and easily accessible for verification.
Designed to simplify housekeeping operations, the platform empowers LTC providers to improve accountability, validate compliance, streamline staff onboarding, and reduce costs through operational efficiency. Currently used in LTC facilities across British Columbia and Ontario, with trials underway in Alberta and Ohio, Beetons Clean is setting a new standard for cleanliness and care.
A Mission Rooted in Experience
The inspiration behind Beetons Clean stems from Chinook Health Solutions’ extensive firsthand experience in the continuing care sector. The founders recognized significant inefficiencies in paper-based systems used to track housekeeping tasks. These outdated methods often hindered compliance and accountability, leading to frustrations for staff and management alike.
With a background in solving complex technical problems, the team saw an opportunity to revolutionize housekeeping operations through a digital solution. The result? A platform that not only simplifies workflows but also enhances care standards, ultimately benefiting residents, staff, and families.
Why Beetons Clean Stands Out
Unlike generic facility management systems, Beetons Clean is purpose-built for housekeeping in LTC environments. The platform’s intuitive, icon-based interface ensures ease of use for all staff, while automated scheduling and customizable cleaning templates streamline daily operations. Leveraging the power of Microsoft Azure, Beetons Clean delivers lightning-fast access to data—an entire year’s worth of cleaning records can be retrieved in just three seconds.
Integration with systems like PointClickCare ensures real-time updates, keeping resident data accurate and up-to-date. Beetons Clean’s innovative features, such as real-time precautionary updates and detailed donning and doffing instructions, prioritize safety and efficiency. This combination of innovation and user-centric design sets Beetons Clean apart as a leader in LTC housekeeping solutions.
Building Trust Through Technology
Beetons Clean is more than just a housekeeping platform; it’s a tool that builds trust. At one LTC facility, a hospitality manager used the platform’s photo documentation feature to address a family’s concerns about cleaning standards. Time-stamped photos of cleaned areas provided undeniable proof, resolving the issue swiftly and reinforcing trust between the facility and the family.
The platform’s transparency extends to laundry services, where it tracks clothes and linens from pickup to return, ensuring timely delivery and accurate records. These features exemplify how Beetons Clean uses smart tools to enhance transparency, efficiency, and peace of mind for everyone involved.
Collaborating with ACCA and Beyond
As a proud member of the Alberta Continuing Care Association (ACCA), Beetons Clean actively engages with industry stakeholders to address challenges and share best practices. Participation in events like the ACCA Annual Conference and AGM has provided valuable insights and opportunities for collaboration. The company’s commitment to supporting the sector aligns with its mission to empower LTC providers with innovative solutions.
Looking Ahead
Beetons Clean is continuously exploring new ways to enhance the LTC experience. Future developments include expanded training and education tools for housekeepers, ensuring staff are well-equipped to maintain the highest standards of care. As the continuing care industry embraces digital transformation, Beetons Clean is poised to lead the way, driving efficiency, accuracy, and safety.
